There are just a few albums that followers are evaluating Linkin Park’s new songs to.
The band made a serious comeback earlier this month once they debuted Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara as their new co-vocalist, launched a brand new tune titled “The Emptiness Machine,” introduced tour dates and their first new album since 2017’s One More Light known as From Zero.
Today, they dropped their second monitor with Armstrong, “Heavy Is the Crown,” which they debuted stay over the weekend throughout their live performance in Germany.
While some followers are spending their time evaluating Armstrong to late frontman Chester Bennington, many others are basking on this new period of Linkin Park and appreciating that certainly one of their favourite teams is making music once more.
Some even really feel that the brand new materials is paying homage to the band’s first two albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora, in addition to a bit little bit of 2007’s Minutes to Midnight and 2012’s Living Things.
“The new Linkin Park song coming out tomorrow sounds like it could’ve come straight off of Meteora just with a different singer,” one fan wrote on X.
On numerous Reddit threads, followers elaborated a bit extra on why they suppose the brand new songs match the band’s older sound so effectively. Two of the tracks that had been introduced up quite a few occasions particularly had been “Faint” from Meteora and “Given Up” from Minutes to Midnight.
“This song is like ‘Faint’ with the more modern sounds from Living Things, it starts growing on me,” one particular person wrote on a thread about “Heavy Is the Crown.”
“To me this sounds like a combination of ‘Faint,’ some of the synths you’d hear across Living Things, and then a ‘Given Up’ style scream. Clearly intended as a throwback song, but honestly for a comeback album I don’t mind that,” another person wrote on one other thread centered on “Heavy Is the Crown.”
“Haters will listen to this and say this is not Linkin Park when this sounds more Meteora than some of the tracks on there,” one other remark learn.
Mike Shinoda stated in an interview with Chicago’s Q101 just a few days after the discharge of “The Emptiness Machine” that the explanation the band determined to maintain the title Linkin Park was as a result of the music nonetheless gave the impression of Linkin Park.
“As the music came into focus, we were like, this is as Linkin Park-an album as we could make. It’s so Linkin Park that if we call it something else, then we are idiots because it would be a misrepresentation,” he asserted.
And it seems like everybody’s feedback help that.
